Good memories, thank you. Love your site too. I think Danceteria ran for six to eight weeks, inspired by club nights in London and New York, but it felt to us, rightly or wrongly, that Dublin wasn’t really ready for club culture at that point. By the time I migrated to the TV Club with Dennis Desmond a year later (for about nine months in 82-83) we had big crowds (about 400 to 900) dancing every Friday (rock) and Saturday (reggae and African) night to a mix of DJing and live bands – everyone from John Cale and Mari Wilson to Aswad and Osibisa played live, and the records were usually electronic, disco, funk, reggae and African. 12″ singles had caught on, and many of the crowd knew as much as or more than me about some of the music. We had a great 10k sound system courtesy of Tim Buckley and Joe O’Herlihy, and a lovely sprung maple dance floor on which hundreds could dance at a time. Billy and I also collaborated on many other projects, including the Dance Marathons at the TV Club over Christmas ’82 and again ’83, in aid of the Rape Crisis Centre.
